Stories Collected While Living in France
She was ready with her, pink satin bow, powder-puff hand muff, and her very own kissing contraption to entice the boys. She even had a friend who stood by her side chanting softly in her ear:
Go under the mistletoe,
Go under the mistletoe,

ahh the mistletoe, as long as you catch the right boy…lol
Do you think she can spare some mistletoe?
Sparkling candy cane kisses under the misletoe and Santa Claus Wishes.

J’adore ces cartes anciennes !
That sure is a lot of mistletoe. I guess she wants to make sure no one misses the hint.
I have a tiny little collection of vintage postcards…they just don’t make them that way anymore…sad
I love vintage postcards, how adorable. I love the idea of having a kissing contraption (on researching mistletoes I came upon this interesting website-www.mistletoe.org.uk) thank you for making me smile today.
oh this mistletoe postcards is so adorable! and to have a portable one on a stick! how cute..
So sweet this card.
Corey,
I love those old cards. Such beautiful innocence. Delicate and bold at the same time.
Mistletoe? Any excuse is a good excuse. 😉
Oh oh oh, what a surprise to find my little children under the “soft chant”! You are so sweet, (thank you!) and this card and sentiment is truly fairytale like!!! Mistletoe kisses to you dear Corey!
Truly a sweet image and your words add to the charm!
Such a sweet card
I’m not sure what I love most about this picture…
The way these little ones are dressed or the ‘contraption’…there is certainly enough mistletoe there for both of them !
How do you do it? Inspiring image, words, AND links!!
I feel more holiday-ish already!
I need to get me one of those headbands!
How come I click “Remember Personal Info” everytime, but it never does?
We hung mistletoe this year … mmmmmmm… bises! ~JP
Adorable! These girls are on a mission!!
Absolutely precious!
When in doubt, at all times carry your own mistletoe! And carry a vast amount of it and wave in front of his face!
Anticipation.
Longing.
Friendship.
Beauty.
You capture it all.
Of all the fabulous photographs from the past that you’ve shared since I’ve been visiting – this is my absolute fave so far. And the story you share like sparkled wintry fairy dust!
I’m smiling just to imagine …
Absolutely lovey…….again!
Just beautiful…
OK, I was at a party tonight and someone was WEARING one of those mistletoe headbands!
Such a pretty card. I love nostalgic pictures….of when times were more gentle and sweet. How do you find such pretty things?
I have a couple of these old cards. They are quite charming.
I love mistletoe!!!!!
Hee hee! I LOVE THIS POST, Corey! The Girls have A Plan! Maybe I’ll make myself a huge kissing contraption this year, too.
absolutely brilliant! love the card too! Jude x
Love that card, it’s simply gorgeous!
must be practical to carry arround your own mistletoe..
I might not look as cute as her…. but I feel sorry this is not a tradition in here..
you would never see me without a mistletoe.. honni soit qui mal y pense.. just accomplishing the tradition.. I
love the carte postale.. enjoy..
Oh the mistletoe headband is wonderful! And the postcard, beautiful… I would like to carry my mistletoe around on a wand, too.
ohhhh how I wish i could just take the beautiful red coats * hat off of the characters for my precious little Sadie!
The beauty is divine!
P.S. I think the American floral industry is missing a huge market. THese mistltoe branches would surely be a big hit =)
XOXO
